Andre Miller added 17 points, eight assists and four steals for the Trail
Blazers, who have posted back-to-back wins after a three-game skid. They've
won five straight at home.

Ellis had 26 points, but also accounted for seven of his team's 18 turnovers.
Reggie Williams tallied 16 points for the Warriors, who nearly rallied from a
15-point deficit in the final quarter, but lost for the eighth time in nine
games.

A jumper from Williams had the visitors within 95-93 with 2:02 left, and
Golden State had a chance to move ahead after Dante Cunningham blew a layup.
However, Vladimir Radmanovic's three-ball from the right wing caromed in and
out of the hoop.

Aldridge canned 1-of-2 foul shots with 1:16 left for a three-point margin, and
then Rodney Carney missed a running bank shot inside of a minute. A turnover
from Wesley Matthews led to a pair of made free throws from Ellis with 33.5
seconds left.

After Matthews and Aldridge missed jumpers, the Warriors had one final chance.
Williams grabbed the rebound and Golden State called timeout with eight
seconds left.

Radmanovic set a crushing screen for Ellis, but his fall away jumper from
right of the foul line hit off the heel of the rim and bounced away as time
expired.

"He had it right there and lined up, but it didn't go in." Warriors coach
Keith Smart said. "We had a ton of stops after the two-minute mark to get us
back in the basketball game."

"[We were expecting] some type of ball screen or some back screen," said
Aldridge. "We were trying to switch everything. He nailed Wesley so I just
stepped up and tried to block it. I had just missed my game winner so I didn't
want him to make his."

The Blazers held a 21-18 lead after one quarter, during which the Warriors
shot just 30 percent. Portland upped that advantage to 51-42 at the half
behind 55 percent shooting.

A dunk by Matthews widened the lead to 69-54 with four minutes left in the
third and it was 74-65 going to the fourth. A three-pointer from Patrick Mills
moved the difference back to 15 at 86-71 with 7:54 left.
